Real World Experience

Loss of Knowledge
Fundamental industry knowledge can be lost if newer employees are not trained and prepared for their roles.
Experience Gap

Difficult to Learn
It’s not easy to find the right training. Death by PowerPoint is a poor way to learn.
"I liked that the instructor took some time to show the class the NRC and Certrec websites relating to the ROP. Also, the information provided was excellent, as was the slide presentation. The instructor is very knowledgeable and able to answer any questions that arise."
